There are very different functions of protection relays, every one of those relays are ready to touch upon sure type of faults. Every equipment wants different types of protection relays. As example, Distance relays are suitable for transmission lines, and differential relays for power transformers and bus bars. Before undergo protection relays, will see the list different types of protection relays by it’s operate and ANSI code as shown in table below:
